RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - Gors - 04-29-2014
Honestly id get a cart of Outrun over Super Mario Kart nowadays, but my tastes are different.
Im more interested in having an easy to pick up and enjoyable game than having to deal with quirks caused by flat mode7 terrain any day.
RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - MrYoshbert - 04-29-2014
Now I'm curious.
What do you think about Mario Kart: Super Circuit (if you've played it)?
RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - Iceman404 - 04-29-2014
Super Circuit always felt like Super Mario Kart with most of it's problems fixed to me.
RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - Saltonara - 04-30-2014
I dunno about that one.

Not much has changed, except the courses are literally larger, your characters shout whenever you do anything and your character farts speed when you powerslide after a set amount of time and come out of the slide OK
The items were rebalanced too so that's alright too I guess but still the same formula that you practically have to relearn the game to get back into it.
Even then, go back to SMK from that game - you don't get that much of a reward from perfect drifts (and instead you have to start jumping throughout a drift to keep your orientation proper) and your item selection's a little screwed, still

You're all still missing the point.
This is Super Mario Kart.

This is Super Mario Kart.
Please ban Kosheh for a hundred years for using such egregious analogies to describe an irrefutably classic game.
RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - E-Man - 05-01-2014
MandL37, you were kidding when you said you wanted the staff to ban Kosheh, right?
Forgive me for asking, but the way you worded that made it sound like you're serious.

I think not flying off the track and losing the race entirely is enough reward for drifting correctly (???). I'm also pretty sure interrupting your drift in Super Circuit causes you to lose your chance of a boost if you had one coming.

I suppose that not dying due to lack of oxygen is enough of a reward for breathing, then.
RE: Super Mario Kart is garbage - Iceman404 - 05-01-2014
It is when you're not expecting breathing to do anymore than save your life.
Your problem is yet again that SMK is the first game in the series and you're bringing expectation from later games back to this old dusty thing. In 1992 people didn't know what powersliding was and actually used drifting for the sole purpose of helping them drive, not for the boost at the end which takes no real effort to get anyways.

Uh, reading the instruction manual told you that powersliding was done with the shoulder buttons. It wasn't until MK64 that the speedboost was actually noticeable, but like - you didn't actually get any real indication that you got a speed boost.
Besides totally not losing your speed (which you kinda lost with powersliding anyway?)
